Charles Lipcon, founder of Lipcon, Margulies, Alsina & Winkleman, P.A., has been named a “Super Lawyer” for the fifth year in a row in the just-published 2011 edition of Super Lawyers. In addition this year’s issue has named Jason Margulies, also a member of the firm, as one of this year’s “Rising Stars”.

Super Lawyers magazine annually selects attorneys on a state-by-state basis using a rigorous rating process. Combining peer nominations and evaluations with third-party research, Super Lawyers identifies eligible candidates and then evaluates each nominee on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse resource of outstanding attorneys available to anyone searching for legal counsel.

Attorneys named to Rising Star status are vetted in a similar process. This category recognizes the top up-and-coming attorneys in the state who are age 40 or younger, or have been practicing for 10 years or less.

The combined results are published in Super Lawyers’ annual edition each June and typically are reprinted locally in select publications including Miami magazine and The Wall Street Journal.

Mr. Lipcon has been named a Miami Super Lawyer for his work in transportation/maritime law as well as his representation of plaintiffs in general personal injury cases. Mr. Margulies has also been recognized in the general personal injury/plaintiff category for Miami.
